15
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: there were some better games, But if you're listenings on Thursday,

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: you know, probably the biggest game of the night Cal

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Poly Fresno State. Your man might have a couple of

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: degrees from a couple of the elite state schools out

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: with you know, I like Fressen State big, But it's

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: just an exciting weekend I'm headed to Nashville and recording

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: this on about Wednesday afternoon. So I have a lot

22
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: of waiver claims and Alex Leatherwood and Nate Sudfield and

23
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, not much craziness is going on. So I

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: thought what I do because you gotta get a whole

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: content out there, you gotta. You can't just stop, you know.

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: So we're doing a little mail bag and at John

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those d m s

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna unload some mail bag questions here

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: and the game plan. So if this comes out probably Thursday,

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: maybe Friday, I'm not quite sure. We will start fresh

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: for the football season. I'll have my next podcast be

32
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: out Tuesday, so we'll have kind of like a start

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: of the season Tuesday podcast. How might do? A Wednesday podcast.

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Will definitely have a podcast on Friday reacting to the

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: Rams Bills Week one of the NFL season. Baby listen

Speaker 1: on Collins Feed. Make sure you subscribe to the three

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: and outfeed would appreciate that. And uh, let me sit

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: my coffee and let's roll. Been listening to you since

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: you started with the volume, Love the Insight. I'm a

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: longtime Bears fan and saw they picked up former Raiders

41
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: first round pick Alex Leatherwood off waivers. Today, when you

42
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: pick someone off waivers, you take on their whole contract. Correct.

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: Would that mean if Leatherwood pans out, the Bills could

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: use the fifth year option on him or is that

45
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: gone now that he's been cut? Yes? So when you

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: a lot of times, the reason guys slide through waivers,

47
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: especially higher draft picks, is because people don't want the contract.

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So the Bears, claiming Alex Leatherwood, they just take on.

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: And now the Raids are kind of bailed out, they

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: take on that contract now obviously because he was a

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: first round pick. The bonus money for whatever his original

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: signing bonus was, the Raiders have already paid that. So

53
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: you're just on the hook for the remaining guaranteed money

54
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: of this year and then two more years, and then

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: if he's any good, you can pick up his fifth

56
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: year option. I think the question mark with him is

57
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: just he's not good enough at least so far to

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: play right tackle. But he's not very good at guard.

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was really bad for the Raiders. Uh. Now,

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: sometimes a guy like him, a new administration comes in

61
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: to me, it's pretty crazy. It's honestly, I I tweeted

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: this out. When is the last time, non injury or

63
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: non like crime, a top twenty pick was not on

64
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: the team that just drafted him the following year because

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times, even when a new administration comes in,

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: they messed with a top twenty pick at least for

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: a year. But yeah, it's pretty crazy now. He was

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: a polarizing pick when Gruden and Mayock made it. But yeah,

69
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean I I I don't see why you guys

70
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't take a flyer while you were in Nashville. If

71
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you're looking for a coffee shop with the best vibe

72
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: in the city, check out Frothy Monkey's location at twelfth South.

73
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: It is converted craftsman home services excellent. UM as a

74
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: long time Nashville and I hope you enjoy your stay here.

75
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: It's hard not to have a great time. Yeah, I

76
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: think I'll do all right. Mail back question the Pats

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: at Steelers on the Week two line is up to

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: Pats minus one and a half. My friend and I

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: have a strong disagreement on this. The line is saying

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: that the Pats are three point better on a neutral

81
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: field in one and a half for home field. While

82
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has its issue the old line and Trabisky isn't

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: very good, pitt has great weapons, uh in New England

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: always has a solid run game, and Mac is better

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: than Trabisky, but how much better? Additionally, the paths of

86
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: this weird situation with their OC spot going on and

87
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: nobody confident in their offense at all. Pittsburgh would also

88
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: have the best player in the field and t J.

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: Watt Well, I'm a big Belichick guy. I can't believe

90
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: pitt wouldn't be a slight favorite or at least a

91
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: pick them at home. Who would you take in Pittsburgh? Yeah,

92
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean I'd take the Steelers. I mean, what what

93
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: are we talking about? Uh? I also have a little

94
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: struggle with such an unknown like the Pats and even

95
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers on a look aheadline. As of recording this,

96
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Tomlin hasn't announced his quarterback I have. I'm interested in

97
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: that Week one Miami UH New England game, Like what

98
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: do the Pats look like? I think the Week two

99
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: line with two teams like this with a quarterback unknown

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: and a coordinator unknown, even though we know the Patriots

101
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: are gonna run it. I think my gambling advice would

102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: be like I'd hesitate unless you just love the Steelers,

103
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: because I'm with you, the Steelers should be favorite in

104
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: that game. But that's a little weird. And any time

105
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: lines are red flag him and be careful because Vegas

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: knows what they're doing. Trust me, I know giving him

107
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. What are your thoughts on how

108
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: he getting Gardner Johnson? Would you say he's the most

109
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: aggressive GM in the NFL? Do you believe in a

110
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: league that's a competitive as the NFL you need to

111
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: be this aggressive? I'd be lying if I had a

112
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: scouting report on this guy. I mean just reading clearly

113
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: a starting corner. Uh, he could not come to an

114
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: agreement with the Saints. How he listened when I worked

115
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: for him a decade ago and up until now, he

116
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: is pedal to the freaking metal. Every day is full tilt.

117
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, is he the most aggressive GM in the NFL? Fuck?

118
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. I mean he is. To me, Well,

119
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you could argue less need in the rams, but I

120
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: think Howie is just a born deal maker. That's what

121
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: he hangs his hat on is doing deals, finding value,

122
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: And it looked like it didn't even about they give

123
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: him a fifth round pick? Is that what I read? Um?

124
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: But again, I haven't. I didn't watch that much since

125
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: football last year, and I didn't. I've been busy having

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: texted in my buddies with the Eagles to find out

127
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: what his deal is. Clearly it looks like a pretty

128
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: good deal, you know. Big fan of the pod. Last week,

129
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: Colin said that Joe Burrow is a legend while Herbert

130
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: is just a talented player. McAfee also said that you

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: can't put Burrow and Herbert on the same tier because

132
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Herbert did more with the team that is much worse

133
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: on paper. What do you think Herbert needs to do

134
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: seen by a public as being on the same level

135
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: as Burrow? Do you think it'll be hard for Herbert

136
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: to get the credit with the good on how good

137
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers roster is this year? Well, anytime that you

138
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl with the Bengals, you're gonna

139
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: get a lot of credit. Here's the other thing with Burrow.

140
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: He was the best player on one of the best

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: college teams we've ever seen. So within a three year span,

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: he takes l s U to the National Championship and

143
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: let's face it kicks the ship out of everybody. And

144
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: then a couple of years later he takes the Bengals

145
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and was winning and beat Mahomes

146
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: on the road. So there are just things that he's

147
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: got on his resume that like you can know a

148
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: good looking guy who's dated a lot of beautiful women,

149
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to go toe to toe with like George Clooney,

150
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: you know he's just gonna have What do that means?

151
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: It's just not on the same level, Like, there is

152
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: nothing Herbert. Herbert's one a Rose Bowl. It doesn't sniff

153
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: beating Alabama and winning a national championship, right, it just

154
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: doesn't beat nothing Herbert has done in the NFL. Not

155
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: necessarily a fault of his own. Brandon Staley terrible coach

156
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: last year. Chargers, you know, mediocre franchise, Like you can

157
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: tell me, well the Bengals mediocre franchise are they really

158
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: look at the last fifteen years, a lot of wins.

159
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: They've went to the playoffs a lot, Well, John, they

160
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: never want a playoff game. They were going there all

161
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: the time, hosted a lot of playoff games. Like not

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: everyone's winning playoff games. Chargers I think I've gone to

163
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs one time in nine years. I think how

164
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: many times the Bengals went to the playoffs with Andy

165
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: Dalton and Marvin Lewis and now this year with Burrow.

166
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to diminish anything with Burrow, but I

167
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: think Herbert is a star, an absolute star. But there's

168
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: nothing on his resume that you can compare to Burrow

169
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: beside touchdown passes. I mean, it's just there's nothing you

170
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: can say, which sometimes it's okay, let's I always like

171
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: let things play out. It's like Steph Curry, he's got

172
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: like five more years left in his career. Do we

173
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: need to like, Well, he's a top he's the twelve

174
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: best player of all time. What if he wins two

175
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: more championships? Can we just take a deep breath? What

176
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: is Patrick Mahomes? I don't know. He's twenty seven years old.

177
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy in each right, he could have

178
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: fifteen more year career. Can we just let some things

179
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: play out? But I agree Burrow is a legend right now.

180
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: He won an actual championship to l s U instant legend.

181
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: He went to the Super Bowl and year two after

182
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: blowing out his knee. Pretty legendary member of Bill's BOFFI

183
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: and enjoy anything fantasy football. You seem well connected with

184
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: the Niners, and I'm interested in how their backfield will

185
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: shape out. I think it's fair to say the forty

186
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: Niners will lean on the run this year barring injuries. Well,

187
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell get the most carries this season. It seems

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: like the forty Niners have four competent running backs along

189
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: with Debo and Trade to run the ball, So wondering

190
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: who you might get with the most carries, I would

191
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: struggle in fantasy football terms to go all in on

192
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: the Niners running back on any given game. Kyle demands

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: these guys take a million hits and run downhill, so

194
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: they get hurt a lot. He goes through running backs

195
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: like me and you go through bottles of water, So

196
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I I would. I don't know. You can't say Elijah

197
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell is their best player, but he's already heard. You know,

198
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Could have like two straight games where

199
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: he gets a total of four touchdowns and then you

200
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: don't really see him for another month. Who knows what

201
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Debo will carry? Just too many unknowns. I would not.

202
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: Like you look at the Vikings like Adam Fling and

203
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson are scoring touchdowns forty Niners like I don't know.

204
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: Kiddle could have two or he could have seven. Elijah

205
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell could have tan or he could have three. Just

206
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: I just I don't trust the There's a lot of

207
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: equity going on, a lot of equitable carries and touches

208
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: in the Niners offense. Longtime listener, first time mailbag, Huge

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: corn Husker fan, and I enjoyed your take on Scott Frost.

210
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: He was an awesome player in good small UH school coach,

211
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: but just isn't making it happen Lincoln. Who do you

212
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: see replacing him? Or who should Does Mark Whipple take over?

213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Also rumors of the Iowa state head coach, Well, you

214
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: guys have big ten money and the deal just got signed,

215
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: so financially you can go play with the big boys. Now,

216
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: I would say it's no longer a desirable place as

217
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: it once was in it's heyday, right when I was

218
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: a kid in Nebraska. Florida State aren't quite the same.

219
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: Let's just let's just call a spade a spade. But

220
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: if you're willing to pay money, talks and ship walks.

221
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Ask Greg Norman in the Sudies, So money always talks. Now,

222
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Iowa State can pay him a lot of money, and

223
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he makes a lot of money. Is

224
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: Nebraska that much better of a job than Iowa State? Now,

225
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: you'd argue the Big twelve doesn't really exist with Texas

226
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma, so him going to the Big ten might

227
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: be a smart move. Midwestern guy makes some sense. How

228
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: about Luke Fickle another kind of Midwestern guy? You know,

229
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just throwing some names out there.

230
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I also said on last podcast that Scott Frost is

231
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: a good guy. I don't know. I just kind of

232
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: was ranting and raving, so that came out of my mouth.

233
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: I've actually heard from NFL people they can't stand him.

234
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: The programming runs is not NFL friendly. It's one of

235
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: the worst visits in the league. Uh just from they

236
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: hold your hand to kick you out of practice, and

237
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: think about this. The best visit historically in the league

238
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: is Alabama. Programs like Clemson and Ohio State, they open

239
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: their doors and do anything for the NFL. Lincoln Riley,

240
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: jimbo Fisher right this, So if you're a bad visit.

241
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: I read Flagg the Ship out of You. I talked

242
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: to several people that are not big Scott Frost fans.

243
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there are gonna be many people in

244
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: NFL circles that will be sad when he gets fired, because,

245
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's getting fired. He's terrible. Kickoff Week

252
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: the forty Niners right now about minus seven against Chicago Bears.

253
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that is blowout city. The Arizona Cardinals while

254
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: their home hosting. The Chiefs are dealing with a ton

255
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: of injuries and offense. Ron Dale Moore, Zach Hurtz. I

256
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs big in this game. I think the

257
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs have a chance to win the Super Bowl. I

258
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs have a point to prove early and often,

259
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,320

Speaker 1: mail back question. Football has evolved in the last twenty

281
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: years from feature backs to plug and playbacks, the feature

282
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. What do you see is the big evolution

283
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: in the game in the next twenty years? You know,

284
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: no clue. I can't even I just think we're gonna

285
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: stay pretty offensive heavy. Um. I mean, I don't really

286
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: know what else they can do of regulating the hitting.

287
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, you're never gonna regulate the trenches. I'm not

288
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: sure the running game ever really comes back because of

289
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: the talent and the influx of pure of passers that

290
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: come in the league and wide receivers. But there is

291
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: just a you know, a cyclical nature to end anything

292
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: in life. It's no different in any marketplace. UM. It

293
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: just things kind of rotate, They go up and they

294
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: go down, things change. So I'd be lying if I

295
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: told you I knew. Um honestly, I don't really even

296
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: think about it. I'm more living in the present with

297
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the league. I'm not one of those philosophers when it

298
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: comes to where football is going. Not that I don't care,

299
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: but I kind of don't care. When it happens. I'll

300
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: just roll with it. Uh, it's out of my control.

301
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: But I mean to be pretty candid, I have no clue.

302
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: I would say, I don't know how much more change

303
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: can really happen, because I don't think we're ever gonna

304
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: go back to like big, big hitting safeties, or like

305
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: field goal kickers will be able to hit eight yard

306
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: field goals, so kicking more field goals, I don't know.

307
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Big fan of the work appreciate it. Question do you

308
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: think Nebraska moving to the Big ten hurt them? Do

309
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you feel if they stayed in the Big twelve they

310
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: would have been better. I think they would have been

311
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: better in the Big twelve for sure. The problem is

312
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: financially they made the right move. The Big twelve is

313
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: not gonna exist. I know they've added some teams, but

314
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: give me a break. It's like the Pac twelve. Once

315
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: you lose USC and U c l A like I'm sorry,

316
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: it's over. Once you lose Texas and Oklahoma, it's done.

317
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: You're basically the Mountain West on steroids. So I think

318
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: looking back, they made the right move. They are part

319
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: of the partnership with all the money, all these teams.

320
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: They're getting eight nine million dollars a year. I mean,

321
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: the Big twelve had to add like fucking Cincinnati and

322
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: UCF They're they're there with Michigan and Ohio State. So

323
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: I did it hurt them a little for sure? Did

324
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: they have to make the move? I think they did.

325
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I really do. Now if Nebraska and Colorado had stayed,

326
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: just Texas and Texas Oklahoma going to the SEC, no

327
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: matter what, I think one thing moving forward, and it's

328
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: probably always been like this, but now the money is

329
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: so big and so many of these different industries. It's

330
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: just all the money, and I I really don't think

331
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: they had a choice. Now they're not gonna win as much.

332
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: Clearly they're struggling. But and maybe you could argue with

333
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: the Internet, like their success happened pre Internet post Internet.

334
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: I see it on the West coast. Hell, I'm in Scottsdale,

335
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Arizona right now. It is a The state of Arizona

336
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: is a really really good recruiting bed. A ton of

337
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: star players come from this state. A lot of them

338
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: go to the SEC, A lot of them go to

339
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: the Big ten. I think Taylor luan Arizona guy went

340
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: to Michigan. You know. So it's just the world is

341
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: so fucking flat now with the internet, did I I

342
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: just when Tom Osborne was kicking ass and taking names

343
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: in just kind of a we lived in a different world.

344
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm answering mail bag questions from Instagram right now.

345
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Tom Osborne back, what where? What's that question? How do

346
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: you score that dime piece you're walking around with? She's

347
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: smiling in the background right now, just kidding. Well, what

348
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: do you think of the raiders chances of realistically matching

349
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: their ten win mark from last year? I know it's

350
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: only preseason, but the team looks buttoned up. They're scrubs

351
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: dominated the pat starters. I think the media is blowing

352
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers again and I'm not sold on them being elite. Well,

353
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a bald, good looking guy to answer

354
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: the first part of the question, and I'm a great podcaster. Now,

355
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I would say on the Raiders, they

356
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: just have a major question mark in their offensive line.

357
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: They also have a new coach. Now, so did the Broncos.

358
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: I think the Charger's roster we can't argue it's legit.

359
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers roster, I trust me. I'm you

360
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: won't meet many people to talk more you know what

361
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: about Brandon Staley than me. But I have to acknowledge

362
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will acknowledge. Everyone in the NFL will acknowledge

363
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: their roster is top notch, win healthy. Again. I mean

364
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: it's on paper, but it's better than the Raiders. And

365
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is a better player than Derek Carr. That's

366
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: also not arguable. And I'm a Fresident State guy. I'm

367
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Derek Carr fan. He's really become a very

368
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: very solid quarterback. Justin Herbert's star. So if the Charges

369
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: are good on defense, now, they have a franchise history

370
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: of underachieving, and to me, it starts at the top.

371
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Dean Spanos is one of the cheapest guys in the league,

372
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: and whatever he does as an owner, you know, just

373
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: has an impact on his franchise because they've underachieved. My

374
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: entire life beside when they played the Fortys in the

375
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and that was ship Junior say Al and

376
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison. Um so, I yeah, I mean, I I

377
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: like the Raiders this year. I think Denver would be

378
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: in some trouble. Question for the pod TV twelve as

379
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: a buck Is Owen four versus the Saints in the

380
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: regular season. Do you think that trend continues or maybe

381
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: that's something to do with Sean Payton or there are

382
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: other factors with him no longer being there. I it's

383
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: hard to tell. I mean, I people keep saying, like Middlecuff,

384
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: you hate New Orleans. What your deal? It's like, yeah,

385
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: they had a fifteen million dollar coach. He's now on

386
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: television like, I'm sorry, I don't look at you. The

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: same with Dennis Allen. You're like, well, Jamis Jamis was

388
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: pretty good. But also Sean Payton was there. He's our

389
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He's one of the best coaches in the league.

390
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: So you remove Sean Payton, you insert Dennis Allen, who,

391
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: like I saw him with the Raiders. Now his team

392
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: is way better than that Raider team. But Dennis Allen's

393
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of a stiff. You know, it's not a stiff.

394
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: John Payton's like the offense of Bill Parselves. He's an

395
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: ass kicker. Like I'm sorry, I'm just I can't take

396
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: you as seriously with Dennis Allen. So it's hard now.

397
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen played a big role because their defense was

398
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: awesome against Tom Brady. But now at Dennis Allen is

399
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: no longer just the defensive coordinators the head coach. It's

400
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot different. I say the same thing about Todd Bowls.

401
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot different when you only have to deal

402
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: with half the team than when you deal with the

403
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: whole team, and every issue is you're a problem. A

404
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: guy gets d u I on offense. If you're the

405
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: defense coordinator, who cares Michael Thomas is getting uh surgery

406
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: on company time because he's gonna vacation on his own time.

407
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: That's not your problem for Dennis Allen. Now that is.

408
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: Any guy that gets Alvin Kamara that situation is now

409
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen's problem. So I just that gives me pause

410
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: with the Saints and maybe he turned his career around,

411
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't really see it. My

412
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: Broncos seem to have neglected the right tackle position, spending

413
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: money on premium picks for years, whether it's George Payton

414
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: or Elway. Now they have a decent but often injured

415
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: Billy Turner, but either way, I'm curious what conversations look

416
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes when the GM and the coach

417
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: when there's a position fans are clamoring for them to address,

418
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: and they continually don't. I know every situation is different,

419
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: but in general delusion thinking their guy is better than

420
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: he actually is, or is it more specific cap issue

421
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: or something that they're not aware of the fact that

422
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: they may have a hole at the position. If the

423
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: fans are aware of, the team is aware. Like if

424
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: your right tackle either as injury problems or is average,

425
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: the team's teams aren't idiots. Now, I think sometimes here's

426
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the problem. There are only so many human beings in

427
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: this world, let alone this country that are six five

428
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: to six six. There are three hundred three thirty pounds

429
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: and that are light on their feet. So the percentage

430
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: of those people that are that size that are athletic

431
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: enough to just be a decent athlete is small. Then

432
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: the factor in those guys could play in the NFL

433
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: is slim the NUNE so they're not You don't grow

434
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: those guys on trees. It's why how many elite left

435
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: tackles are there in the league. Seven eight, and then

436
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the left tack and then another half

437
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: are just okay starters. How many good right tackles are

438
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: there in the league? Three or four? The majority of

439
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: right tackles in the NFL are replaceable players. So there's

440
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: just how do you find like Lane Johnson? How do

441
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: you find Mitchell Sworts, who the Chiefs had forever? It's hard.

442
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: There's just it's it's easier to find defensive lineman. It's

443
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: easier to find every position besides offensive tackles and quarterbacks

444
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: because just aren't that many of them and there aren't

445
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: that many good ones. Hey, John question for the pot.

446
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: I've been a long time listener and love how you

447
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: bring up some of your connections with different organizations. What's

448
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: your take on this next year's quarterbacks in the draft?

449
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: Who do you think will go high and go to?

450
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: What team? Have you ever heard of Stephen Duncan out

451
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: of Tarleton State? What's your take on him? I never

452
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: have to be honest with you. Um, I think the

453
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: two guys at Badman, Ohio State are pretty sweet. Now.

454
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: The C. J. Stroud is kind of an old school

455
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: pocket passer, throws a beautiful football. Bryce Young is just

456
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: a star. Here's the problem though, with Bryce, He's tiny

457
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: and Listen, We've seen little small quarterbacks be good in

458
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson's two twenty pounds

459
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray is like one of the fastest

460
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: players in NFL history. Bryce is a good athlete, but

461
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: he's not like run away from you or just like

462
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: every player. Uh. And he's really really small. That that

463
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: picture last year at the Heisman of Bryce, c J.

464
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Stroud and Adan Hutchinson. I mean, I know people that

465
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: have gone through Alabama that think he's like five ten

466
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe and a hundred and seventy pounds. So that's those

467
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: two guys are the best players, but one is not

468
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: a great athlete in c J, and the other is

469
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: just awesome player. CJ is a great player too, but

470
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: he just can't really move, and teams want guys that

471
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: can move. Now Bryce can, but he's tiny. And I

472
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: think the guy Kentucky has a lot of people intrigued,

473
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: uh this guy. I think I kind of teased you

474
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: guys weeks ago about the dude at Washington State, Cameron Award. Cameron,

475
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: a ward Um guy from Incarnate Word, is supposed to

476
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: be super talented. One of his coaches there. Coach Patrick

477
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes is Texas Tech. He's a guy to keep an

478
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: eye on, uh Stanford as a quarterback. I'm probably missing

479
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: some guys is in Virginia. I mean, they're like five

480
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: or six guys that have this class, very very intrigued.

481
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. But I also think part of you know,

482
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: what makes football or just sports in general, is like

483
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: you gotta playoff the season. You know, Zion was not

484
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: the number one prospect in his class, and then the

485
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: seat and then basketball happened. You're like, holy shit, right,

486
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just for every you know, Andrew Luck. There

487
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: are a lot of times that like, you know, Joe

488
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: Burrow was not Joe Burrow until that season happened. Baker

489
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: Mayfield was not Baker Mayfield till the season happened. School

490
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: part about sports like you gotta play like you gotta

491
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: do it on the field, especially at quarterback. Okay, last question,

492
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: what's up? Got a gambling question for you. I moved

493
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: out of southern California a couple of years ago, and

494
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: lately I've been seeing ads about California legalizing sports gambling

495
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: this fall. I've heard you say in the past that

496
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a long time before they did.

497
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: What do you think about the likelihood as they legalized

498
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: this upcoming fall, Well, a couple of years ago, in

499
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty, it was on the batt it and

500
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: in California, I don't I don't know how all these

501
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: states work. Like I'm in Arizona right now, it's it's legal.

502
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: They passed it a couple of years ago. In California.

503
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: The only people that are allowed to gamble are Indians

504
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: on the tribal land. They have Indian casinos. Now at

505
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: those casinos there are no sports books. And a couple

506
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: of years ago, what's called it is what it is.

507
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: They paid this committee to yank it off the ballot.

508
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: It never even got voted on twelve people. They got

509
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: some payoffs yanked it off the ballot. Don't blame them.

510
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: I would do the same thing in their shoes. Well,

511
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: now they don't have the juice anymore because they California

512
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: sees the money these other states are making and it

513
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: is getting pushed hard like they're they're no longer going

514
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 1: to have the monopoly. And my issue has been like

515
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: why do they just get to have the monopoly on gambling.

516
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: And here's a reality with the Indian casinos. They're run

517
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: by the Vegas Casinos. Mgm uh the wind like all

518
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: those people are the people actually running the casino and

519
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: doing business with them. So it's inevitable now. And I

520
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: think I'm a little biased, but I think it passes

521
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: this fall because they don't have the juice anymore and

522
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: they would pay any top dollar to get that bad

523
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: boy yanked off the ballot. It didn't get yanked off

524
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: the ballot this time around. And props vote yes if

525
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: you live in California because gambling is gonna be legal,

526
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's I'm I'm a little surprised, yes,

527
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: because I just thought that, you know, California is very,

528
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: very corrupt. They love talking a big game like they're not,

529
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: but it is. I've lived in the majority of my life,

530
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: and uh, I think the Uh, I'm I'm a little stunned,

531
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: but I'm actually pretty confident that it's it's gonna pass.

532
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: And who knows, I you know, it's all internet based anyway,

533
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't even understand. Like if I was in business

534
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: with the Indian casinos, I would just say, let's just

535
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: build some sports books at our casinos, I know, the

536
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: one that I go to a lot kind of buy.

537
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: My mom's house has one of the best golf courses

538
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: in northern California. It's always packed. Put a sports book there,

539
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: just play ball. You know, you lost, it's over. You

540
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: no longer have the market corner. Um. You know. I

541
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: think it was like that for a while in Arizona too.

542
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's tribal land, but they got past because

543
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: it's just a little more pro business, I guess in

544
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: this state than in California. But uh yeah, I think

545
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: it's uh it's about time. It's about damn time. So

546
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: get ready to get ready to get your gamble on

547
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: it in the state of California. Uh, have a good week,

548
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: have a good weekend. Headed to uh Nashville. Can't freaking wait.

549
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: If you're listening this, I'm probably already there about seven deep.

550
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: So talk to everyone soon. Godspeed see it. Have a

551
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: good Labor day. Volume
